verse 1 
Am                       Dm           Am 
I find resolve in the darkest part of my mind 
        F      Dm 
I can stand to be inside 
Am                         G 
I find the light to be a little much at times 
Am               C 
But I will rise! 
 
G Am Am 
 
F               Dm                      Am   C 
I will rise up with the weight of the world 
F               Dm                    Am  C 
I will rise up from the darkness, purged!

verse 2 
Am                        F                     Am 
I face the truth with a bitterness that won't subside 
    F      Dm 
And I face it alone 
Am                          G 
I'll be the Pariah in your war against yourself 
Am 
But I will rise! 
 
Am 
 
Bridge

This is product of hatred and anger 
Am 
A life spent on the outside but I will rise!

I will rise up from the darkness, purged!

I will rise up from the darkness, purged!
